SANITARY SINK BASKET Filed April 7. 1944 llll mel" l l l l l l n n 4 Patented Aug. 19, 1947 UNITED STATES PATENT orrlci:A
1 Claim.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in sink baskets adapted for placing in a kitchen sink and within which dishes may be washed and refuse and sediment collected from the dishes to prevent the same from entering the drain pipe.
An important object of the present invention is to provide a sink basket of this character constructed of cloth or other suitable flexible and porous material together with means for supporting the upper edges of the basket above the level of the water in the sink so that the dishes mai7 be washed within the basket, the refuse collected in the basket and the basket then emptied and folded and collapsed for conveniently storing the same until further use.
A still further important object of the invention is to provide a rigid frame for supporting the upper edges of the cloth basket, as Well as rigid stays for the bottom of the basket and in which the frame and stays may be removed so that the basket may be washed, when desired.
A still further object is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical construction, which is efcient and reliable in performance, neat and attractive in appearance, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to lik parts throughout, and in which- Figure 1 is a sectional View through a kitchen sink with the basket shown in position therein.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the basket removed from the sink and with parts broken away and shown in section.
Figure 3 is a vertical transverse sectional View of the basket.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary perspective View of one corner of the interconnected frame members, and
Figure 5 is a similar View of the connection for the rear ends of the frame members.
Referring now to the drawing in detail wherein for the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 designates a basket which may be constructed of any suitable fabric and which includes Y hems which are open at each end to form a front hem 8, rear hem 9 and side hems ID and I.I.
A rigid frame member I2 is removably inserted in the front hem 8 and a rigidframe member I3 is removably inserted in the rear hem 9, the frame members I2 and I3 being of duplicate construction and are formed adjacent each end with upper and lower notches I 4 and I5.
Side frame members I6 and II, likewise of rigid material, are removably inserted in the respective side hems Ill and II.
The rear ends of the frame members I6 and I'I are formed with a longitudinally extending slot I8 terminating at their inner ends in a transverse slot I9.
The slots i 4 and I5 on the strips or frame members I2 and I3 define flat heads 20 connected to the strips I6 and I'I by means of Shanks 2l, the strips being connected by turning the strip I2 or I3 angularly with respect to the strips I6 and I'I and inserting the shanks 2l into the slots I8 and then turning the strip I 2 or I3 into an upright position with the shanks 2| entering the reentrant slots I9 to thus prevent withdrawal of the heads 20 from the slots.
The front ends of the side frame strips or members I6 and I 'I are likewise formed with longitudinally extending slots 2| terminating in transverse reentrant slots 22 and the front ends of the strips I6 and I'I are formed with downwardly extending hooks 23 which project forwardly of the slots 2I and 22, the hooks defining an entrance 24 in the lower edges of the strips communicating with the slots 2l.
The ends of the frame member I2 or I3 are similarly engaged in the slots 2| and 22 by entering such slots through the opening 24.
When the frame members are connected in the manner as indicated in an upright position transversely thereof the hooks 23 are adapted to engage over the upper front edge portion of a, sink 25 to support the front edge portion of the basket therein.
A cord of similar flexible member 26 is attached adjacent the ends of the rear frame member I3 and extends looped over the faucet 21 to support the rear edge portion of the basket. This pro- Vides a bag-like construction in and on which utensils may rest when the device is in use within the sink.
A strip of fabric 28 is secured to the bottom 6 -by means of spaced parallel stitching 29 to provide a plurality of seams 30 of longitudinal pockets open at each end and in which rigid reinforcing strips 3| may be removably inserted. The
device thus supported Will be prevented from becoming displaced While in use in the sink and, obviously, the reinforcing strips 3| substantially stiien and maintain the bottom of the bag-like device distended and in a non-collapsed condition.
From the foregoing it will be apparent that the basket 5 may be supported by the frame members I2, I3, I6 and I1 within a sink, as shown in Figure 1 of the drawing, so that dishes may be Washed in the basket and refuse therefrom collected in the basket without danger of the refuse entering the drain pipe 32. The basket may then be removed and emptied, the frame members and the bottom reinforcing strips 3| removed and the basket collapsed for conveniently storing the same.
It is here pointed out that the cloth or other suitable flexible fabric or material of which the basket 5 is made is preferably and generally of some material Woven or formed relatively close yet being of ample or substantial porosity, but, obviously, in some cases, the same may be perforated or of open mesh formation yet having only suiiicient sized openings for drainage of water and at the same time hold particles of refuse coming from the dishes and other articles Washed in the basket.
It is believed the details of construction, operation and advantages `of the device Will be readily understood from the foregoing without further detailed explanation. In this connection it is here also noted that, obviously, the drain pipe inlet or the drain outlet of the sink 25 is plugged or stoppered in any conventional manner (not shown) to hold the water in the sink While the device of the present invention is in use.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:
A sink basket of the character described coinprising a substantially rectangular water-penetrative fabric bag-like receptacle including a bottom and front, back and end walls, the bottom of the receptacle having on its under side a plurality of elongated pocket formations, separate elongated stifener strips fitted removably in the pocket formations on the under side of the bottom of the receptacle, each wall terminating at its upper end in an open-ended hem, a rectangular frame including front and rear elongated members and elongated end members, each member being inserted in one of said hems, said frame members having interlocking provision at their respective meeting ends for detachably securing the members together with the end in crossed REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file of this patent:
